Answer:

The length of the subway on the map is $2.83\ inches$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale on the map is equal to the length of the subway on the map divided by the length of the subway in the actual

Let

z------> the scale on the map

x------> the length of the subway on the map

y------> the length of the subway in the actual

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

In this problem we have

$z=\frac{0.15}{45}\frac{inches}{miles}$

$y=850\ miles$

substitute and solve for x

$\frac{0.15}{45}=\frac{x}{850}$

$x=850*\frac{0.15}{45}=2.83\ inches$

In your computation, approximate its value as 3.14.

andrey2020 [161]

Answer: d

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the rectangle.

$A=l*w\\A=(15in)(12in)\\A=180in^2$

Find the area of the base of the semicircle.

$A=\pi r^2$

12 in would be the diameter, divide by 2 to get the radius.

$\frac{12}{2}=6$

Plug this into the formula.

$A=(3.14)(6)^2\\A=113.04in^2$

Since we do not have a full circle but a semi one instead, we must divide our result by 2.

$\frac{113.04}{2}=56.52in^2$

Add both areas.

180+56.52=236.52 $in^2$

20 units Humulin R insulin in 100 mL of normal saline (NS) to infuse for 20 hours. (Round to the nearest tenth if applicable) a.

wariber [46]

Answer:

a) 1 unit per hour will be infused.

b) 5mL per hour will be infused.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each question can be solved as a rule of three with direct measures, that means we have a cross multiplication.

a. How many units per hour will be infused?

20 units are going to be infused in 20 hours. How many units are going to be infused each hour?

1 hour - x units

20 hours - 20 units

$20x = 20$

$x = \frac{20}{20}$

$x = 1$

1 unit per hour will be infused.

b. How many milliliters per hour will be infused?

100mL are going to be infused in 20 hours. How many mL are going to be infused each hour?

1 hour - x mL

20 hours - 100 mL

$20x = 100$

$x = \frac{100}{20}$

$x = 5$

5mL per hour will be infused.

Solve by substitution or elimination;<br><br> x+2y=-1<br> x-y=5

Strike441 [17]

I would love to use substitution (It is simplier that way I guess)

solve your system of equations.

x+2y=−1;x−y=5

Solve x+2y=−1 for x:

x+2y+−2y=−1+−2y(Add -2y to both sides)

x=−2y−1

Substitute (−2y−1) for x in x−y=5:

x−y=5

−2y−1−y=5

−3y−1=5(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−3y−1+1=5+1(Add 1 to both sides)

−3y=6

−3y/−3 = 6/−3(Divide both sides by -3)

y=−2

Substitute (−2) for y in x=−2y−1:

x=−2y−1

x=(−2)(−2)−1

x=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)

So the answer is (x = 3 and y = -2)
